Hereinafter, with the various embodiment that describe in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings according to service system of the present invention and processing service in digit receiver.
Explain for further understanding of the present invention being provided and being convenient to, will be described to SNS by example in this service.Therefore, for example, digit receiver comprises intelligent TV or the social TV that SNS is provided.Simultaneously, in the present invention, the SNS that provides by digit receiver will be described to be classified into open SNS and the SNS of sealing.What note is that diagram and division or classification are presented to provide further understanding of the present invention and are convenient to and explain, and the invention is not restricted to hereinafter with the embodiment that describes.
In order to use SNS via digit receiver, for example, the user has to carry out the application that is used for SNS that is stored in the digit receiver or usually after downloading corresponding application, and carries out service access and logging program then.In addition, in order to visit the exchanges data space set up (for example, as the talk group of subordinate's structure of SNS) in the SNS relevant with content, the user has to carry out search utility after aforesaid program.Even under these circumstances, if a plurality of exchanges data space is established and does not provide the search information of quantity sufficient, the exchanges data space that then requires the significant time and make great efforts to be expected with visit.This may cause the user discontented and about using the inconvenience of SNS.
In order to address the above problem, the present invention is designed to, even uses digit receiver to help the user to visit and use SNS more easily and easily under the situation of the program of the aforementioned trouble that does not have to carry out execution, service access and the logging program used such as SNS.At this, SNS may refer to all SNS that are linked to or are not linked to content.For example, content is called as all services and/or the application that can drive or realize by digit receiver, such as broadcast service, recreation and outside input.In a word, if being different from digit receiver provides customer call and carries out traditional SNS that corresponding SNS uses the service UI that is associated with the SNS application, screen etc. method is provided, the present invention relates to service system and service method be provided in digit receiver, in addition the user who does not have to allow under the situation that carry out to be used for the application of corresponding SNS and/or to carry out logging program not add SNS or even the member of corresponding SNS use content more rapidly and expediently and be linked to the SNS of content.
As mentioned above, explain for further understanding of the present invention being provided and being convenient to, will describe open SNS and the SNS of sealing respectively hereinafter.
According to embodiments of the invention, to offer the zone that the service providing method of service guide for example can provide digit receiver for the SNS that is linked to corresponding content about the information of content, use corresponding content more easily and expediently thereby help the user.At this, for example, use content can comprise that the watching of corresponding content, playback, record and record subscribe.
Simultaneously, in the present invention, though SNS is the SNS that is linked to content, the SNS that be performed may not be the exchanges data space about content.For example, can be called as open SNS about the exchanges data space of content, and opposite situation can be called as the SNS of sealing.To describe in further detail hereinafter.For example, can provide according to SNS of the present invention based on the various references such as the user of identical content, the open chat relevant with the content of common interest, closed chat, school, sex, age, content, audience ratings, grading, time, channel, broadcasting station, manufacturer, friend and the serial relevant with the content of personal interest.Under these circumstances, though aforesaid reference can be respectively the reference for the supply of SNS, two or more are with reference to being combined to be used as reference in case of necessity.
Even digit receiver is not set such that to drive SNS via for example aforesaid service guide simultaneously by content playback, digit receiver can provide for example text or warning to the user, the text or report to the police indication with existed by the relevant SNS that is provided of the content of playback or reopened, perhaps friend connect his/she digit receiver or invite the user simultaneously the user use the SNS of correspondence.For the ease of visit, digit receiver can adopt and access method identical in above-mentioned service guide.For example, digit receiver can provide the identifier information such as the interim log-on message that is used for visit SNS.
Simultaneously, digit receiver for example can provide the function with the subscriber-related SNS such as friend's registration, invitation and messenger service that uses corresponding SNS.Under these circumstances, suppose that SNS is arranged in the zone of data sink, for example, for the ease of using, digit receiver can automatically be carried out the user interface that is associated (UI) such as emoticon and keyboard image.
For example, in the present invention, the digit broadcasting receiver that digit receiver is not limited to fix, and can be linked to mobile device such as smart phone or dull and stereotyped PC.Suppose that digit receiver is that TV and user attempt to watch TV to use SNS via mobile device simultaneously, the window of the execution of another SNS that automatically performs and/or login or be used for asking in response to the user of the application of the SNS that TV can be provided for using in mobile device.Under these circumstances, TV can show all data of before using and related UI is provided in mobile device.The user can use the SNS that carries out in TV to continue simultaneously to use mobile device as input unit.And, mobile device can finish SNS and only TV can drive corresponding SNS.
If playback or the executory variation of content occur between the operating period according to the SNS that is linked to content of the present invention, the problem of the processing of driven SNS then may appear.For example, the appearance of change may refer to, recreation use term of execution used SNS and used situation about being terminated, situation that the user closes broadcast program thereafter and the situation of the change of the state of the content that occurs switching such as channel.In one example, suppose that content is broadcast program.Under these circumstances, if user's switching channels between the operating period of the SNS that is linked to broadcast program is watched broadcast program simultaneously, then be necessary to determine whether to provide unceasingly even the SNS of current use in the channel that is switched or the supply of termination SNS.In addition, even the channel that is switched provides new SNS, the problem of the processing of existing SNS may appear also.Under aforesaid situation, different solutions can be proposed between the SNS of open SNS and sealing.For example, under the situation of open SNS, digit receiver can provide about the inquiry that whether terminates in the SNS that has carried out in the previous channel and/or about whether participating in the SNS that provides in the channel that is switched and/or the inquiry of carrying out UI, thereby selects to provide SNS based on the user.Then because might the user channel searching or switching channels simply mistakenly, so select to carry out SNS passively based on the user.If keep the channel that is switched in predetermined time or longer time, then digit receiver can be automatically or inquiry about whether keeping the previous SNS that activates manually is provided, and perhaps can stop or switch SNS.On the other hand, under the situation of the SNS that seals, digit receiver can directly use the identification information of previous channel, can ask the identification information of looking for novelty during the SNS that perhaps activates in automatically entering the channel that is being switched.
Simultaneously, if a plurality of SNS is linked to single content or SNS comprises a plurality of exchanges data space, the problem of the processing of this situation may appear then.For example, in order to handle such situation, in one example, digit receiver or server can provide to each SNS or each exchanges data space based on the data with reference to classification such as the existence of the degree of participation rate, participant's number, activation, friend's existence and theme.Like this, the user can manually select SNS or exchanges data space based on aforesaid information, and perhaps digit receiver or server can consider that previously stored user's tendency automatically selects and provide SNS or exchanges data space.
In addition, digit receiver a plurality of exchanges data space that a plurality of SNS can be provided simultaneously or between the operating period of content, in SNS, set up.For example, as mentioned above, digit receiver can simultaneously or provide open SNS and the SNS of sealing unceasingly, and can only be provided at the high rank space in the middle of a plurality of exchanges data space of setting up among the SNS that is linked to content based on aforesaid reference.
In digit receiver, provide the opening API that service method can be used provides enterprise, server etc. mainly to provide by service according to of the present invention.Use opening API among the SNS of the SNS of the sealing that will describe and opening below.
Hereinafter, at first, will the service system that be associated with supply according to service of the present invention be described.As mentioned above, can finish supply according to service of the present invention via service guide.Under these circumstances, mainly, via providing (hereinafter, jointly being called service guide for convenience's sake) such as service guide, thumbnail image and channel browsing devices with the service system of describing hereinafter.Certainly, also can be via hereinafter the service system of describing being provided according to service of the present invention.
Fig. 8 is that diagram is according to the block diagram of the example of service system of the present invention.For example, Fig. 8 illustrated process such as SNS, service guide, thumbnail image, channel browsing device and about the service of the information of audience ratings.Under these circumstances, for the ease of explaining, service system will be described to provide EPS service by example, and will describe the processing of SNS in the counterpart of specification in detail.
Digit receiver 820 can be by the 810 EPG data that receive as an example of information on services dispose and provide EPG from the broadcasting station.Alternatively, digit receiver 820 can be by disposing and provide EPG from the EPG server 830 as the EPG data source.
Under the former situation, for example, be included in by by tuning channel from the digital broadcast signal that digit receiver 820 receives system information (SI) or the form of information on services send the EPG data.For example, under the situation of DVB system, information on services can comprise service describing table (SDT) and Event Information Table (EIT), and under the situation of ATSC system, it can comprise PSI/PSIP information, such as Program Association Table (PAT), Program Map Table (PMT), virtual channel table (VCT), EIT etc.Digit receiver 820 is resolved the information on services that receives, and disposes EPG in order to service is provided based on resolved data.Yet, might be from the broadcasting station 810 information on services that send be not enough to the service that provides corresponding because digit receiver should be carried out the tuning of corresponding channel and because to the restriction of tunable channel, there is restriction in the quality of service.
In the latter case, external server 830 is independent EPG service servers, and additional EPG data that the information on services in the difference information on services in broadcasting station 810 or broadcasting station 810 do not provide or relevant with prime time or gold-programme various other data are provided.Yet the service that obtains can require other contract and in most of the cases can be paid service, and can require basic EPG data.
As mentioned above, digit receiver 820 can receive from the broadcasting station 810 or the EPG service data that sends of EPG server 830 so that data are offered the user, and can be from the broadcasting station 810 and EPG server 830 both receive the EPG service data and offer the user with the EPG data that will be combined.
Fig. 9 is that diagram is according to the block diagram of another example of service system of the present invention.
With reference to figure 9, can mainly comprise broadcasting station 905, digit receiver 910 and first server 915 according to service system of the present invention.At this, for example, first server 915 can be the server that provides by digit receiver 910.For example, first server 915 can comprise control unit 920, SNS module 925, webcrawler module 930, search module 940, processor 950, database 960 and 970 and search engine 980.For example, service system may further include be used to the second server 990 that aforesaid EPG and/or SNS are provided.Though Fig. 9 illustrates single second server 990, second server 990 can be that the EPG that provides provides server and SNS that the combination of server is provided separatedly.Simultaneously, only comprise for the desired assembly of explanation of the present invention though the service system of Fig. 9 is illustrated as, can omit some assemblies in case of necessity or can add other assembly.And some assemblies that are illustrated can be incorporated in the single module, and perhaps single module can be made of a plurality of modules.In addition, though SNS module 925 can be provided, for example, as relevant with the present invention independent module as illustrated, SNS module 925 can be integrated with control unit 920 or webcrawler module 930.
As mentioned above, digit receiver 910 can receive the EPG data from the information on services (SI) that is included in from the digital broadcast signal that broadcasting station 905 and/or second server 990 receive.Then, the 905 EPG data that receive or the EPG data that provide by EPG Information Provider 990 have low channel based on each regional area or service covers (approximately less than 50%) from the broadcasting station, and therefore digit receiver 910 is difficult to provide the EPG service of reflection actual broadcast environment to the user.In other words, even when obtaining aforesaid EPG data, because low service covers and its inadequate metadata, single digit receiver can not provide the EPG that is enough to meet consumers' demand service.
Therefore, at this as mentioned above, in order to compensate the shortcoming that in fact broadcasting station 905 and/or second server 990 are not enough to satisfy the user's request that is used for the EPG service, first server 915 is designed to store and manage the data that are collected by the EPG data of collecting each digit receiver and in database EPG is provided service.
In other words, be different from traditional digit receiver, according to the present invention, the EPG data that first server 915 can a plurality of digit receivers in the identical service list be collected EPG data and/or combination second server 990, and the EPG data of obtaining can be sent to digit receiver, in order to the senior EPG service that comprises nearest lastest imformation is provided at short notice.
In the present invention, when aforesaid senior EPG service is sent to digit receiver 910 from first server 915, as mentioned above, also can send be used to the information that the SNS that is linked to content is provided.At this, for example, provide the information of the SNS that is linked to content to comprise that identifier information is as being used for according to the visit information that the SNS that is linked to content is provided of the present invention.Except identifier information, information may further include the details about the SNS of correspondence and/or other additional information.For example, identifier information comprises log-on message.In other words, first server 915 generates and for example will serve the SNS information that is associated by the EPG that SNS module 925 offers digit receiver 910.For example, first server 915 generates the exchanges data space of the SNS that is used for being linked to content and also generates various information about the exchanges data space.At this, for example, SNS can be known SNS or the SNS that provided by manufacturer.Under the former situation, for example, first server 915 can be via generating the exchanges data space of the supply that is used for SNS with the communication of corresponding SNS server, and generate the identifier information about the exchanges data space then, although first server 915 can automatically generate exchanges data space and information.Alternatively, first server 915 can only be responsible for central connection and the transmission of operation that all above-mentioned SNS are associated, and can carry out the generation of all information that comprise identifier information by outside SNS server 990.
Hereinafter, will describe in further detail according to service system of the present invention with in digit receiver 910 with reference to Figure 10 EPG will be provided service method.Figure 10 is that diagram is according to the flow chart that the example of service method is provided in digit broadcasting system of the present invention.
For the service according to EPG of the present invention is provided, digital device 910 by with first server 915 communicate by letter to carry out accreditation process.For example, digit receiver 910 is transmitted into its device information the first server 915(S1002 at first), and receive set points based on the device information of emission from first server 915, that is, service list arranges ID(S1004).At this, for example, device information comprises device country, receiver types and service list.For example, device country can be Korea S (KR), Germany (DE) or Britain (UK).For example, acceptor device can mean land, cable, satellite and Internet Protocol IV(IPTV).Service list can comprise at least one in tabulation, 3-ID and the service name of the service that can visit by digit receiver by automatic scan or channel.
For example, 3-ID comprises original network identifier, transport stream identification symbol and service identifier.3-ID can be independently or together with service name as reference group or superset, when first server 915 is collected, combination and use this reference group or superset when handling the service data that receives from each digit receiver.First server 915 is with reference to 3-ID and/or service name configuration group.The identifier that is used for each group of identification is that service list arranges ID.Like this, first server 915 can be classified the service data that receives and grouping from digit receiver, and obtains various up-to-date service datas thereafter.Certainly, under these circumstances, the service data of outside EPG provider 990 also can be collected and store.Simultaneously, though group can be called as superset, group can comprise that at least two supersets are as the group of subordinate when being necessary based on the service name in the group for example group to be categorized into the group of subordinate.For example, digit receiver 910 can will comprise the service list of the device information of the receiver types of device country such as UK, DVB-T and 3-ID, that is, dvb: // 233a.2f.1 sends to first server 915.At this, " 233a " can mean original network identifier, and " 2f " can mean the transport stream identification symbol, and " 1 " can mean service identifier.
Except said apparatus information, digit receiver 910 can be further with for example such as the type of device information of the model number of corresponding intrument or model name, such as the device by correspondence provide or the device language message of the language that in the device of correspondence, uses and be registered in advance in the user ID information in first server 915 at least one send to first server 915.
First server 915 determines based on the device information that sends from digit receiver 910 whether corresponding digit receiver 910 is in superset or the group, and based on the result who is determined with the superset of correspondence or the identification information of group, that is, service list arranges ID and sends to digit receiver 910.
Service list arranges ID can be as the communication information or the identification information between digit receiver 910 and first server 915.In other words, after digit receiver 910 and first server 915 are finished mutual identification via said procedure, such as the renewal of for example EPG service data from each digit receiver to first server 915 or come from the basic service data sending/receiving program of reception of EPG service data of first server 915 and use service list that ID is set.
At this, service list arranges ID and be used to a pile service list of classifying under the situation of first server 915 based on each service list management EPG data, that is, and and the value of superset or group.Under common situation, as mentioned above, can pass through two kinds of device informations, that is, device country and receiver types dispose superset or group.For example, under the situation in Europe, if similarly use 3-ID based on each receiver types in a country, then service list can be regarded as identical service and can be to be in the identical superset or group.
Thereafter, each digit receiver service list that will comprise the EPG service data sends to first server 915 and/or upgrades the service list (S1006) that comprises the EPG service data.At this, service list can comprise that the service list that receives from first server 915 except the EPG service data arranges ID and/or 3-ID.In addition, the SI data that receive from the broadcasting station or the various information that provided by each receiver can be provided service list, and can send SI data and information individually or be included in the EPG service data.For example, sending under the hypothesis of information with the EPG service data, service list may further include about the service type information of each content (SD/HD/3D) with about the language of contents information (for example, Korea S, Britain, Spain and Germany) of correspondence.For example, for transmission and the reception of information, service list may further include the information about program title, time started, concluding time, duration, grading and school.In addition, service list can comprise the language message that is associated with the existence of corresponding program, video resolution, AV type and title.
Read the EPG service data from being included in from digit receiver 910 sends to information on services the digital broadcast signal in broadcasting station 905.As mentioned above, under the situation on DVB land, the information on services that comprises the EPG service data comprises, for example, and SDT and Service events, that is, and program EIT.In other words, digit receiver 910 extracts from digital broadcast signal and is used for disposing the data of EPG service by resolving SDT and EIT, and the data of extracting are stored in the memory cell.Then, digit receiver 910 will comprise that at least one the service list that aforesaid stored EPG service data and aforesaid 3-ID and service list arrange in the identifier sends to first server 915.
In operation S1006, each digit receiver can send to the EPG service data first server 915.
First server 915 can receive and handle the EPG service that provides from each digit receiver.After handling, can use the EPG service data of outside EPG provider 990.Yet if the conflict between corresponding EPG service data occurs after handling, SI information can have priority.
Hereinafter, the handling procedure of the EPG service data in first server 915 will be described in detail.
If receive the device information of each digital device in aforesaid operation S1002, then control unit 920 sends to webcrawler module 930 with the device information that receives.Webcrawler module 930 disposes the superset with identical service list based on the device information of each digital device, and with the identifier of the superset that is configured, that is, service list arranges ID and returns to control unit 920.Alternatively, control unit 920 can determine that the superset tabulation arranges ID based on device information.
Control unit 920 will arrange identifier from the service list that webcrawler module 930 is returned and turn back to corresponding digit receiver.
If control unit 920 arranges identifier at service list and receives the EPG service data from each digit receiver after being returned to digit receiver, then control unit 920 sends to webcrawler module 930(S1008 with the EPG service data).
Webcrawler module 930 sends to processor 950(S1010 with the input EPG service data of each digit receiver).
Under these circumstances, webcrawler module 930 parameter that can for example be updated from the EPG service data analysis of each digit receiver.
And webcrawler module 930 can arrange ID based on each service list and handle analyzed result, and analyzed result is arranged ID together with the service list that is read sends to processor 950.
Under these circumstances, though each digit receiver can send to the EPG service data first server 915 simultaneously, alternatively, each digital device can send the EPG service data in the different time.
For example, as the result who analyzes the EPG service data that receives from the optional network specific digit receiver, if determine the EPG service data have with from the identical parameter of the service data of the previous renewal of another digit receiver or have the version that is lower than service data, then webcrawler module 930 cannot send to analyzed result processor 950 and remove analyzed result.
Webcrawler module 930 can send to the EPG service data processor 950, no matter when receives the EPG service data from each digit receiver.Yet, the overload of considering processor 950, the parameter that is updated of same levels can be accumulated or can be sent to processor 950 termly, and this can reduce whole loads of server.If the version of the EPG service data that receives is equal to or less than the version of the EPG service data of previous renewal, then webcrawler module 930 can transmit control signal to adjust the transmission period of the digit receiver that sends corresponding EPG service data.
Processor 950 receives from the EPG service data of each digit receiver of webcrawler module 930 transmissions, and the EPG service data that receives is stored in the database 970.
At this, processor 950 receives the EPG service data termly or aperiodically from outside EPG provider 990.
Processor 950 is based on for example superset of previous configuration, namely, service list arranges ID, the EPG service data that receives from webcrawler module 930 and outside EPG provider 990 is classified, and be that unit handles and store the EPG service data (S1012) that is classified in database 970 with aforementioned superset.
For example, translation and merging can be used to handling procedure.For later EPG service data search, can add that for the desired service list of the channel change of each broadcast standard ID and essential information being set.
By aforesaid operations S1012, the data processing that is used for senior EPG service is performed.
Control unit 920 or the SNS module 925 under the control of control unit 920 can spontaneously collect/generate the SNS that is used for being linked to content supply information and about the information in exchanges data space.And control unit 920 or the SNS module 925 under the control of control unit 920 can will be stored in first or second database or in independent database for the information of the supply of SNS with about the information in exchanges data space by in control unit 920, webcrawler module 930 and the processor 950 at least one.Simultaneously, control unit 920 or the SNS module 925 under the control of control unit 920 can via with the communication request of SNS server 990 be used for being linked to content SNS supply information or about generation or the supply of the information in exchanges data space.Under these circumstances, control unit 920 or SNS module 925 can generate the required information of visit particular server based on the information that before received from corresponding server, that is, and and identifier information, and the information that generates sent to digit receiver 910.
In response to EPG service provision request from each digit receiver, can as follows be provided for be linked to the information of supply of the SNS of content thereafter.
If receive the request of EPG service provision from the user, then digit receiver 910 arranges ID with search parameter and the service list that before received and sends to first server 915, with the supply (S1014) of request EPG service.
Under these circumstances, except aforesaid device information, search parameter can comprise for example Query Information, beginning index information, maximum result information, classification information and classified information.Especially, can EPG be set with the supply of request according to EPG service of the present invention based on kind of information.Yet, if classification for example is set to " all ", can receive the information about CP tap (tap) (for example, YouTube tap) and tap in real time.Under the situation of CP tap, only can provide URL(uniform resource locator) (URL) information.
Control unit 920 is checked the request of digit receiver 910, and determine corresponding request whether be for the request of the transmission of the EPG service data of upgrading or for as the request of the supply of the EPG service in operation S1040, described.
If it is request for the supply of EPG service that the result who is determined illustrates corresponding input, then control module 920 sends the searching request that comprises search parameter to search module 940.
Search module 940 is analyzed the search parameter in the searching request of being included in from control module 920.
Search module 940 is to the result of the search parameter of search engine 980 transmission analyses, and search engine 980 comes search database 690 and 970(S1018 based on the search parameter that is sent out).
Search engine 980 receives Search Results from corresponding database 960 and 970, and sends the result who receives to search module 940.
Search module 940 is analyzed the Search Results that receives from search engine 980, comes the result of Allocation Analysis with the corresponding response format with the request that generates in operation S1016, and returns response to control module 920.Under these circumstances, the response of returning of search module 940 can be xml form for example.
Control unit 920 can send to the EPG service data of returning from search module 940 corresponding digit receiver (S1022).At this, the EPG service data of returning comprises, for example, and about the above-mentioned information that is linked to the SNS of content according to the present invention.

In the above-mentioned service system according to Fig. 9 of the present invention, SNS can use or cannot use webcrawler module.
In the present invention, open SNS refers to the server configuration that has or do not have webcrawler module 930 and the situation that at least one SNS that is linked to any content is provided, thereby the user of digit receiver uses SNS.
Open SNS allows server to use the above-mentioned webcrawler module 930 of Fig. 9 automatically to open SNS exchanges data space via the identification of popular broadcast program.For example, according to the present invention, server can automatically be issued the interim SNS ID relevant with the broadcast program that represents high audience ratings in real time.Chat when this permission is used such as the user of several SNS of the API of the opening of Facebook, Twitter etc.And, according to the present invention, all data sinks can show SNS ID(namely, the ID relevant with program) and viewership information, and the licensed participation chat of user or the visit chat content registered as the follower of the SNS ID of correspondence or friend.
On the other hand, under situation about not having according to the SNS of the opening of webcrawler module 930 of the present invention, can preset the opening of the SNS chatroom relevant with the broadcast program with the possibility that becomes problem based on the management server of each country or regional area.For this reason, according to the present invention, if the interim SNS ID that the server issue is relevant with default broadcast program and demonstration SNS ID and broadcast viewing device and service guide, for example, helping the opening of all digit receiver identification chatroom, the user who registers as the follower of the SNS ID of correspondence or friend can participate in chat and visit chat content.
For example, when server was identified popular broadcast program and automatically opened the exchanges data space, server was automatically issued the interim SNS ID relevant with the broadcast program with high audience ratings in real time.Under these circumstances, can carry out exchanges data via interim SNS ID such as a plurality of users of the SNS of the opening of Facebook, Twitter, M2day etc., that is, and chat.Simultaneously, relevant with audience ratings, server can be issued the interim SNS ID relevant with the program of the high television ratings of obtaining each hour, and can omit SNS ID after finishing corresponding program.For example, the SNS ID that is issued provisionally can be configured to, LG_smart_SNS_kbs_spaymyungwal@lge.comAccording to UI of the present invention visit sight, for example, to the channel browsing device screen of the intelligent TV that makes by the manufacturer identical with server or display screen or be possible to the visit that the SNS of digit receiver uses.And the present invention can be based on TV or the SNS of smart phone to participate in being linked with the SNS server of the different manufacturers of specific search word (for example, " LG_smart_SNS ") control.Therefore, all users that the present invention allows to have or do not have the digit receiver of particular manufacturer use SNS easily, and this causes the SNS service quality that strengthens and makes it possible to even via the convenient SNS of use of mobile device.
